Gasket Question

JGPierce · Post by **JGPierce** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 4:36 am

I am going to be adding Ray's disc brakes to my M37. While I've got the wheels and hubs off I'm going to check the axles, bearings, etc. I'll also replace the gaskets and seals at the same time. Should I replace them with NOS or go with current production types? If current, does anyone have a list of new part numbers or know where one is listed?

Definitely don't use NOS seals, if you will post the ones you intend to replace, I can share current part #'s.

Thanks Charles. I'll go through the ORD and come up with the parts.

Back from a long weekend of work and I think I've got the gasket/seal list I'll need (listed from out to in on the axle):

-Hub drive flange gasket.
-Outer wheel hub oil seal for the rear axle.
-Inner wheel hub oil seal for both axles.
-Axle trunnion felt.
-Inner axle shaft oil seal.
-Differential pinion yoke oil seal.

The Power Wagons requires a drive flange gasket on either side of the outer wheel hub oil seal on the rear axle. Is this true with the M37 too? I didn't see it in the TM's.

Since I've got the front axle pretty much pulled apart should I do the steering knuckles (flange oil seal felt and gasket and the bearing cap gasket) at the same time?

I'm pretty new to this so some questions may sound ignorant, but do I use a gasket sealer on all the gaskets or put them in dry like the carburetor rebuild?

Thanks again for the help.
